Ringling College Career Services are free for all students and graduates. Throughout your creative career, we are dedicated to connecting you with the right networks, providing you assistance with your job search, offering extensive interview and resume prep, and landing you work in your field of interest.

Did you know as an alum of Ringling College you have lifetime check-out privileges at the Ringling College campus library? And starting Fall 2016, this means you'll have access to our brand new library of the future! The new library will hold our entire collection - 30% of which is currently housed off-campus - in addition to countless digital resources and collaborative work spaces to get all the information you need in once place.

Enjoy quiet study spaces or relax on one of our outdoor terraces. Grab a coffee in the library cafe and then jump into a brainstorm in the Creative Cauldron. Use our resources to study and learn in the manner that best suits you.

Welcome to Ringling Portfolios! The Ringling gallery is a community for current students, alumni and Ringling College faculty to share and discover creative work. By joining you'll receive updates on competitions and job postings, be noticed by employers and recruiters and gain more exposure for your work.

Madeby is the exclusive on-campus gallery for current student and alumni to show and sell their work. You can participate in a group exhibition or submit for sale your one-of-a-kind and limited edition works, including: fine art, photography, prints, posters, greeting cards, original paintings, screen-printed clothing and other wearables, published books, jewelry, handmade sketch books, toys, glass, pottery, sculpture, furniture and more! This is a great way to meet other Ringling alumni and artists, gain exposure and a local following, and practice marketing and selling your work.

Ringling College branded gifts and apparel are now available online from the Campus Bookstore.

Ringling mentors are so valuable to us because they can speak with first hand knowledge about their experiences and education at Ringling College. Emerging artists and designers interested in pursuing art school can benefit tremendously from speaking with Ringling alumni about the value of a Ringling College education.

Volunteer

We love our alumni volunteers, and we offer countless ways to donate your time and effort. Consider assisting with portfolio review days, hosting an event, or speaking to your local high school about Ringling College. Your expertise is invaluable to spreading the word about our programs.

Give Back

You can make a Ringling College education a reality for emerging artists and designers by contributing to the scholarship fund or to any special project that mirrors your passion. We offer many ways to contribute and to specify what projects, initiatives, and funds you'd like to support. Your generosity makes us what we are today.
